Kiwi Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hi there, I've been planning around the idea of building a bass body and have some wood to make a first start. I'm hoping it will have a spector/warwick like radiussed top which presents its own set of issues that maybe I'll ask for advice on when I'm closer to that point. Right now however I'm focussed on template creation.[list] [*]Do I need a smooth edge on any MDF template that I create after its been sawn out of the flat sheet? [/list][list] [*]If so, whats the best way of getting that smooth edge without having access to a drum sander? 80 grade sandpaper? [/list][list] [*]How much other information should I include on the template apart from body outline? Is it worth including neck pocket, pickup locations etc? [/list][list] [*]How did you get the neck pocket to line up perfectly on the centre axis of the template? [/list] Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
